Kenya NSIS

http://www.nsis.go.ke/faqs.php

What constitutes a threat to the security of Kenya:

Section 2 of the NSIS Act gives a comprehensive definition of what constitutes a threat against the security of Kenya.

Is the NSIS a branch of the Kenya Police Force?

No. The NSIS is an independent civilian Government agency dedicated to protecting the national security interests of Kenya and safeguarding its citizens. Some of the threats under NSIS investigation, e.g. terrorism, can have criminal implications. In such cases, the Kenya Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) would investigate and lay the appropriate criminal charges.

What is the difference between the NSIS and the CID?

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is the Branch of the Kenya Police charged with the mandate of prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of serious crime in Kenya. This role differs from that of the NSIS, which is a CIVILIAN AGENCY WITHOUT ANY POLICE POWERS OF SEARCH, ARREST AND PROSECUTION.

so who seized the hospital records and under what authority?

This part of the article was a surprise to me. I had not seem this info elsewhere but then I haven't been following the smelly saga of BO as long as many have. I had to go refresh my memory of the year 2004 in the life of our subject and read this at The Obama File:

When Obama decided to run for the U. S. Senate he was virtually unknown in his own state. Polls showed fewer than 20 percent of Illinois voters had ever heard of Barack Obama.
But he got a boost, when, on June 2004, the billionaire, George Soros threw a big fund-raiser at his New York home for Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign. Soros and family personally chipped in $60,000. No telling what Soros' buddies chipped in.
Then the Democratic Party introduced Barack Obama to the nation on July 27th, 2004, when Obama delivered his now-famous speech before the Democratic National Convention.

During the 2004 senate campaign, Obama ridiculed as "a silly question" whether he would run for president or vice president before his term ends in 2011. "I’ve never worked in Washington," he said. "I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois."
In November, 2004, Obama was elected to the United States Senate, mostly through the self-destruction of his top opponents in both the primary and general elections.
